Name of symbol of element – strontium Atomic number – 38 Atomic mass – 87.62 Number of protons – 38 Most common isotope – 14 Number of neutrons in most common isotope – 50 Scientist who discovered element – A. Crawford Year discovered – 1790 Origin of its name - Strotian a Scottish town Chemical family – alkaline earth metals Common uses – flares, fire works, and crimson color State of matter at room temperature – celestite strontiante Melting point – 769 degrees Celsius Boiling point – 1384 degrees Celsius Abundance in the earths crust – 7.9 milligrams per liter Other elements that react with this – water chlorine Two compounds that contain this element – strontium lactate and Importance - Strontium can be dangerous to human health because it is a radioactive product of nuclear reactions but, it is also useful for the creation of important compounds and energy. It is used to create flares which could help people too.
